According to a national poll by Mason Dixon Polling & Research, sponsored by the National Safety Commission:

71 percent of Americans have not heard of “Move Over” laws;

86 percent support enacting “Move Over” laws in all 50 states; and

90 percent believe traffic stops and roadside emergencies are dangerous for law enforcement and first responders.

A friend’s son was recently ticketed for this exact infraction. A police car was on the side of the road writing a ticket to someone else (turned out there were 2 police cars). He slowed down to pass but did not move into the other lane. The second police car immediately pulled him over and gave him a ticket. He had never heard of the law. The cost of the ticket was $754, with 3 points on your license and a mandatory court appearance, where they informed him that: “If any emergency vehicle is on the side of the road, if you are able, you are to move into the far lane.”
